Then Google came along with Page Rank, and had a profound effect on the quality of Internet search.

For a good history of search, get John Battelle’s book The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture.

" The ad is as safe as certain critics suggested Vista wasn't. There's a girl. And it's not Lauren, the one who isn't cool enough to buy a Mac. No, it's Kylie, the rather younger girl who is frightfully adept at all things digital. You remember Kylie. Well, now they've given Kylie the big one.
Kylie tells us she's found happy words, lots of them. I know there are those who will struggle with the concept of "more" happy after Vista. I, of course, am happy as long as everyone else is happy.
